Cotoneaster franchetii Hedge Plants Description

Cotoneaster franchetii has sage green leaves with white undersides, 5 petalled white flowers tinged with pink in May and June and an abundance of deep orange/red pearl sized bird friendly berries in Autumn. It is very hardy and suitable for all soils other than very wet and any situation from full sun to dense shade, see also our range of hedging plants for shade.

Trim after the berries have fallen. It is an evergreen but some leaves will drop in Autumn and it can also take on an Autumn colour some years. It is suitable for coastal areas and performs well in exposed sites. See more options for hedging for exposed sites.

Youll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long youre willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.

The best advice for pruning Cotoneaster Franchetii is to trim after the berries have fallen. After pruning, plants benefit from mulching and feeding. Use either a general-purpose fertiliser or specialist rose or other high-potassium fertiliser.

Root Types Summary

×

Bare Roots

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.

Pot Grown

Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.

Root Ball

Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
